What he/she collects

I don’t collect banknotes (but have some for swap here https://goo.gl/photos/FJjCmffnSwUzMfXz9), stamps and other staff.

What he/she wants

If you want to swap, please ENQUIRE WITH SWAP OFFER, NOT WITH SIMPLE MESSAGE and please BE READY TO SEND REGISTERED OR SEND FIRST.

I usually swap by the value, but can also exchange on the coin for coin basis or make a proposal based just on feeling. I prefer to use Numista values, but also ok to use Krause or NCG prices for evaluation with common sense adjustments of some big mistakes (like coin with Numista rarity index 30+ which costs 0,25). Selling is also possible, but not the aim of being here.

I collect by type in VF or better. If you have a coin of the same type but different year in better conditions than the one I picked, I’d prefer this coin.

The grades of my coins represent my own opinion. I provide quality phone-made photos of the coins and ready to discuss any reasonable suggestions regarding grading. Please carefully examine them before pressing a confirmation button.

I also expect the quality photos from the swap-partner. I can additionally provide (as well as request) better photos of some high-value coins if needed.

The value of swap should justify shipping costs.

I usually send by tracked letters and expect the same from you. Untracked letters are fully at the responsibility of the sender. There was a couple of untracked letters lost, therefore it is HIGHLY recommended to send to me with a track. In case you want to send without track, please send first.

I have to ask you to pack your coins on the way that nobody can understand what is inside; otherwise there is a high risk that they will be lost. Please note that it is formally prohibited in Russia to send coins by post.

Excellent experience! Unique face-to-face swap in a cafe with some beer and interesting talks. I was very happy to meet you personally. Don't forget to contact me if you're in Augsburg again!
(I think, I need not mention that the coins are excellent and everything went as agreed)

5 BIG stars to Grinya! Perfect communication, perfect shipping and TOP quality coins!
It took some months to receive the coins due to douanne / customs at Lisbon.
In the end all was weel. Many thanks. Hope we can swap again soon.

Nice coins, safe package, easy agreement.
Some of the coins sent weren't those we agreed, but they were changed to the other and finally a balance is ok! Ready to swap again.
